Starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Jude Law
One of the most intelligent and thought-provoking science fiction films of the 1990s, this engrossing thriller unfolds in a not-too-distant future where a society obsessed with genetic perfection divides citizens into two groups: “valids,” those deemed genetically superior, and “in-valids,” who are relegated to the margins. Ethan Hawke stars as Vincent, an in-valid who assumes the identity of a member of the genetic elite to pursue his goal of traveling into space with the Gattaca Aerospace Corporation. However, a week before his mission, a murder marks Vincent as a suspect. With a relentless investigator in pursuit and the colleague he has fallen in love with beginning to suspect his deception, Vincent’s dreams steadily unravel.
